“Reviving A Lost Art: Nine students show off collection of weavings at Bailey House exhibit”

While the pair [Lloyd Harold Kumula‘au Sing Jr. and May Haunani Balino-Sing] were already involved with workshops and teaching independent basketry classes, they pitched the idea of starting a yearlong cohort under a mentoring grant from the Hawaii State Foundation of Culture and Arts.

As part of the “active” exhibition, the pieces will travel this spring to be on display at the Kaanapali Beach Hotel as well as at the Ritz-Carlton in Kapalua during the Celebration of the Arts Festival. Additionally, the kumus of the cohort hope to add the Merrie Monarch festival to the schedule, they said.

In May 2020, Na Akua Ake will be showcased at the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture on Oahu, which only happens once every four years in a different Pacific nation.
